John Hi John, I'm talking about "Details Refinement", not selection refinement - I hoped this would be clear in the context of the personas i mentioned.

Isn't Detail Refinement practically the same effect as a "Live Unsharp Mask" sharpening layer? Quote To save time I am currently using an automated AI to reply to some posts on this forum. If any of "my" posts are wrong or appear to be total b*ll*cks they are the ones generated by the AI. If correct they were probably mine. I apologise for any mistakes made by my AI - I'm sure it will improve with time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no clear definition avauilable in the help which method is used for sharpening.Unsharp mask normally has a threashold input paramter which is missing here. I tried with a test photo to achhieve the same sharpening effect as "Refine Detilas 50% / 50%" with help of unsharp mask, running through all possible combinations of Radius and Factor between 0 to 5, and 0 to 4, in steps of 0.1, comparing both versions with blend mode "difference" at 100%. You never get the same result. Existing edges always get a brighter halo on the left side. I might be expecting too much from Affinity. Other RAW developers are capable to apply special "digital optimizations" for RAW files based on sensors (RAW files!) and lenses used. If "Details Refinement" is really only unsharp mask, then this request can be closed without changing the function, but please update the description in the UI and help section to explain what type of sharpening is used. But based on my experiments i doubt that it is the same function.
